Osteoporosis is a disorder of metabolic processes in the bone tissue, associated with a high risk of fractures. Usually the disease is diagnosed by the level of bone mineral density.

Strukov, who has devoted more than 60 years to the study of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, has found abdominal masses in the bones, in the locations of which fractures occur in most cases. The scientist first proposed to determine osteoporosis by the presence of such cavities in the trabecular parts of the bones, and their closure as a criterion for the effectiveness of treatment of the disease.

The drug is currently undergoing a series of tests to obtain drug status..
